Mochary with 64.16% of the vote, winning every county in the state. To date, this is the most recent time Hunterdon, Sussex, and Warren counties were won by a Democrat in a statewide election. This was also the last time Morris County voted Democratic in a statewide election until 2020, where Senator Cory Booker won the county in his reelection and Joe Biden won the county in the 2020 presidential race.
